How did the book Uncle Tom's Cabin lead to the US Civil War?

In: US Civil War, Uncle Tom's Cabin [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

It didn't lead to the Civil War, but it may have convinced some in the North that slavery should be abolished. However, the abolition of slavery was only one of the reasons for the war, and not really a major reason at that. The Emancipation Proclamation was not issued until the war had been in progress for two years and only freed the slaves in those areas "currently in rebellion".
